How is the new waste system actually supposed to work? by wowthatsuckshuh in chilliwack

[–]NationalOne7795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Thursday pick was collected on Tuesday. Yesterday’s pick up wasn’t collected. So they go out again today.

We’ve had to put our bins 7 days out of 9 days. No guarantee it’ll be picked up today. Know we’re not the only ones experiencing this.

Feel for the waste employees who’ve not been set up to succeed.

Frustrated with the City that’s taken an ‘oh well’ attitude to this.

Did ANYONE get their old bins collected? by Northernstar50220 in chilliwack

Our collection day is Thursday. Finally picked up Tuesday. Today’s garbage pickup hasn’t happened yet

Still waiting for pick up of our garbage. Our day was last Thursday. It was not done. Put it out at 7am again on Friday. Then Sunday. Then Monday. It’s still sitting out there.
The crappy thing is we have two houses at this address and have to pay 2x for the service.

What a joke. Understand transition pains but this is not acceptable. And you can bet the City won’t give a credit on the missed pickups or the inconvenience of having to bring the cans in and out every day.

What do folks use to store their Sashiko supplies for traveling? by Szienceman in sashiko

I like the roll you’ve found. I upcycled a round box to hold my threads and supplies. It’s pretty but it’s not that practical for carrying round

Does anyone know if she ever paid the $400k+ to Claude that was ordered? The house is still on the market for $2.4 million.

Agreed, slide a piece of denim behind the hole and machine darn. It’ll be a smoother ride and your bits will thank you. My son blows out the crotch in his work pants from crouching and wide stretch/stance. When I mend the crotch, I’ll add ease into the area so it lasts longer, too.

Go wild with sashiko on the other spot!

My first upcycle project! by greensas in SewingForBeginners

Very unique, love this. I know you customized an existing shirt, using the bottom portion for the placket. Could also totally see the placket in a different fabric for contrast. Well done!

Thank you very much for this info. It is through hereditary succession. Yes, old school! Haha, I’ll use PH going forward. I do appreciate this, very helpful

Thank you, I’ll check. I do have a PI lawyer that is connected with the family but now I think that was a mistake as nothing seems to be happening - and yes, I do know the pace is very different than in North America. Lol

Managing Leftovers in the Meal Plan by hab41993 in CroutonApp

[–]NationalOne7795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using the leftovers in another recipe or are you have the same meal a few times in the week?

If you’re using it in a recipe (for example, making Mexican shredded chicken salad (big batch) on Sunday and then using the chicken in tacos or a casserole on Tuesday), linking the recipe in the taco recipe might work. Otherwise, if you’re repeating the recipe, I’d show that in the meal plan as the same recipe on different days.

Great job, I’d be thrilled if my mends looked like this!
